Pros

They pay well, but you will spend most of your career in the bottom of the pay scale as the raises are small and only yearly.

Cons

Terrible bureaucracy. Almost no advancement opportunities. Absolutely no training. Work life balance is dreadful in some departments.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and time off

Cons

The IT org is constantly going through layoffs. The work is going to managed service providers in India. The whole process is clown shoes. They are letting people go that have been here for 20+ years that have so much knowledge and expect to transfer it over to workers who are extremely siloed, who might not even be around in 6 months(the retention rate for this particular MSP is abysmal). These workers are not even dedicated to 3M, they have many other projects. I’m concerned for 3M’s IT future. Walking over dollars to pick up pennies
